Button label centering with GTK+2

[Julian Smart]

If I add this to the end of the frame constructor in the minimal sample 
in wxWidgets 2.8 (today's SVN):

    wxFont font(*wxNORMAL_FONT);
    font.SetWeight(wxBOLD);

    wxPanel* panel = new wxPanel(this, wxID_ANY);
    wxButton* button = new wxButton(panel, wxID_OK, wxT("Hello"), 
wxPoint(10, 10), wxSize(200, -1));
    button->SetFont(font);

I get a bold button correctly centred in both orientations (Debian Etch, 
Gnome).

Perhaps you could try the above, and if you still get the off-centre 
label then that could indicate a difference either in GTK+ or in version 
of wxGTK, or maybe related to the version of desktop environment or theme.

I'd suggest simply not using bold. It may make the user think it's the 
default button.

Regards,

Julian
